TikTok fashion is a thing and there’s no denying it.
While Instagram’s romanticized and over-edited depiction of fashion is admirable, more people are using TikTok as their space for creativity and unfiltered expression of fashion.
Fashion aficionados use the app to find inspiration for new looks, get honest reviews of brands, and discover the latest fashion trends.
Speaking of trends, the platform has become a figure of authority that dictates what’s in and what’s not. TikTok has created numerous viral products and driven sales for retailers of all sizes – thanks to its attraction of Millennial and Gen Z shoppers.
Because of its growing influence, the app launched #TikTokFashionMonth in 2021 — a month-long celebration dedicated to beauty and fashion, with popular creators showcasing interesting fashion-related content and the latest TikTok fashion trends.
What does this mean for business owners?
TikTok is still the fastest-growing app with more than a billion users worldwide. In the Philippines, the app’s ad audience can reach around 43.4 million Filipinos – that’s a lot of people you’d want to market to.
In an era when most people trust TikTok for brand discovery, it would be a shame to not take advantage of this trend, especially if you own a fashion and beauty business.
